Little update . I had to update the firmware on my obd link mx plus adapter bluetooth.. this made all the temp speed and volt match what's on the cluster. Like magic . So all I have left is replace O2 sensor .. bank 1 -1 heater code . Running extra ground cable yet also ..

If all sensors are the same age, do them all.

My voltage runs 13-14.3 v but I sure front and rear fans are running and Bose amp is on . This just a random freeze frame .2592d787e0f92f2c448d48996780503b.png

you will have to check with a multi meter you can also check the resistance of the ground with it.. they got one for 5$ at harbor freight

I got one today ..Is there a good technique to check the ground with a multimeter? Like hook it up and pull cable around ?

the power has to be disconnected other wise you may get a false reading

it has to be on the OHMs reading 200 OHM dial

Any pointers on testing ground with meter ? I figured out the 200 ohm setting on meter. Now for my ground to be good should read 0 .. and do I use negative bat cable to engine .. then cable to frame check both ? Any pointers be great .. hopefully getting ground good will stop this mystery reduce engine speed issue .. Its strange worked great for 2 month and bang it's back again ..
